#thephoenixintro

canonically there’s not much about his childhood other than he was born in idaho, grew up in brooklyn, and was a boy scout

he fought in wwii. he was a paratrooper in the war. 

lost his leg after catching some shrapnel at the siege of bastogne

he was peggy carter’s partner in the ssr and later became the west coast security chief of shield

basically all of agent carter is canon for danny boy, but he never was w/ peggy

~~ season seven spoilers to follow ~~

while at area 51 he met the time travelling shield team

based on his timeline he was meant to die after delivering a package to howard stark, but mack and the team faked his death and brought him onto zephyr one

he definitely dives in head first when it comes to working w/ the team and adjusting to living in the future

while the team is trying to prevent the early launch of project insight in ‘76 daniel tells daisy that he’s thinking of leaving the team as things only seem to get worse the further forward in time he goes

after the pair get captured, and daisy is tortured, by nathaniel malick, who gives himself daisy’s powers. he promised daisy that they’d get out of there alive, we are going home agent johnson. you hear me? we’re going home.

after daisy gives him a piece of glass she managed to grab, daniel takes out the guards and carries a half dead daisy out and gets her back to the zephyr

he’s given the option to leave and stay in 1976, but he decides to stay totally not because of daisy

“i’m where i need to be.” sir, your simp is showing

while helping the team on their mission he starts taking care of daisy, you should be resting, 

jemma makes him a new prosthetic leg, bye bye limp and cane. and bless whoever on that plane gave him that blue shirt cause hot damn

he doesn’t remember the events of the time loop but ya boi was busy

slept in a chair while daisy was in the healing pod, keeping an eye on her

died more than once to help daisy

helped fight enoch, more than once

failed miserably at trying to distract enoch

what time is lunch served on this vessel?

has a very lovely heart to heart w/ daisy where he confesses his feelings for her (probably happened more than once)

the kiss!!!!!!!!!

continued his trend of looking after daisy by taking her bag to a bunk for her

it’s not mentioned but it’s probably right across from where danny boy is sleeping

basically he’s all 😍🥰💖😊 anytime he looks at daisy and will help her with whatever she asks

boi maybe out of his time and trying to learn so much but he’s a good agent

instead of deke staying in the alternate timeline, sousa is the one that stays

he has a very emotional goodbye with daisy

another kiss

“promise me you’ll take care of yourself daisy. i wanted to be there to help pick you up but it’s not in the cards... so you all beat feet and save the future.” he smirked back at daisy “you really should consider the q on your utility belt, quake.”

he stayed in the alt timeline for a couple of years, working with what’s left of shield to rebuild. daniel reconnects with a now married peggy, telling her about his adventures with the team. she was instantly able to pick up on his feelings for daisy, sad that he had to say goodbye to her and a chance at happiness.

BASICS: 

Name: Leopold James Fitz

Date of Birth: August 19th, 1987 

Relationship Status: Married 

Family: Jemma Simmons (Wife) Alya Fitz-Simmons (Daughter) Deke Shaw (Grandson)

PAST: 

Fitz graduated from MIT at the age of sixteen with a PhD in mechanical engineering. 

From there he did two years at SHIELD Academy of the Sciences, where he graduated second in his class (only to Jemma) and was the second youngest cadet to ever make it through the program. 

For nine years afterwards, Fitz and Simmons worked together at Sci-Ops. Fitz was comfortable and happy in their lab. Unlike Jemma, he never had any dreams of going into the field and only went at her insistence when agent Coulson approached them nine years later. 

This is where Fitz met Daisy Johnson (then named Skye) and Grant Ward, who quickly became his closest confidents other than Jemma. It’s what made Ward’s betrayal so hard for him and how he refused to believe it was real until Ward dumped him and Simmons in the ocean. 

Fitz sacrificed himself so that Jemma, that woman he had professed to love, 

Fitz suffered a brain injury that made him sustain major damage t his temporal lobe. He was in a coma for nine days. He had to relearn how to read, write, and speak. He had a tremor in hand. He worried he would never be the same. 

He did slowly recover as best as he could. Under the direction of Coulson and with help from his new friends Hunter and Mack, Fitz was slowly about to get back to active work for SHIELD. 

Fitz is supportive of Daisy learning about her powers, promising to protect her from the team, who was still very shocked by what had occurred. He told her that there was nothing wrong with being different. 

He is also instrumental in the war against the inhumans, trapping Gordon so he cannot teleport. 

Fitz’s persistence to get back Jemma is the reason they are able to go to Maveth and get her. He goes around the world looking for answers. He also makes it his goal to go back and get her boyfriend, Will Daniels, from Maveth. This leads to Fitzsimmons being kidnapped by HYDRA and Grant Ward in order to go there. Fitz watches as Coulson kills Ward, which allows HIVE to take over his body.

He tracks down Holden Radcliffe, who they believe will be the key to curing the inhumans of HIVE, and nearly gets his help before Daisy Johnson attacks him and takes the scientist for himself. This is where Simmons comes face to face with HIVE, who has the memories of Grant Ward and Will, her dead boyfriend.

I am slowly working on getting this canon to the end of season seven with all of fitz major events, but I wanted to post this now so you could see what he has been up to in the present of the rp. 

PRESENT: 

Fitz has taken time off of his work with SHIELD to raise his daughter. He consults and works from home in the lab when he can, but his primary focus is being able to finally live the life he’s wanted.

Cindy Moon was born a very gifted child to strict parents,  who had an eidetic memory so her studies came naturally to her. She found academics to be of no use to her and instead chose to dedicate her time to playing on the school hockey team with her secret boyfriend. When her mother came to find out about her antics she was forced to go on a school field trip that she would never forget.

Whilst on the school field trip, Cindy was bit by a radioactive spider which little did she know at the time, gave her powers. After a long boring day of walking around science exhibitions that she had already memorised Cindy was able to go home to her parents. It wasn’t until a few days later during an argument with her parents, did she actually know what happened that day.

The action of webbing up her parents was the final straw for the Moon’s as they handed Cindy over to a man she had never met. This man appeared harsh and cruel by having her train day after day to use her new found powers. However, he was in reality protecting her as there was a greater threat trying to track Cindy down.

For her own protection she was locked away in a room with only food, books and tapes. Despite the incredible boredom, Cindy never once debated leaving the room as she knew the concequences.

imma  keep  this  brief  because  erik’s  12  paragraph  essay  aged  me.

my  grant  ward  is  being  pulled  from  an  earlier  point  in  this  same  timeline.  season  one  era  ward,  before  the  big  reveal  that  he’s  actually  hydra.  he’s  still  under  garrett’s  thumb,  still  assimilating  with  the  team,  and  keeping  his  secrets  from  the  people  closest  to  him.   the  last  thing  he  remembers  is  killing  victoria  hand  and  then  going  to  the  fridge  (  from  episode  1.18  ).    either  at  the  fridge,  or  directly  after,  he  encountered  one  of  the  monoliths.  imagine  his  surprise  when  he  accidentally  activated  it  and  woke  up  here  in  2020.  

he  has  no  idea  that  he’s  dead  in  2020,  or  that  hydra’s  been  exposed  at  every  level,  so  he’s  in  for  a  rude  awakening.  for  a  guy  who’s  always  prided  himself  in  being  2-4  moves  ahead  of  everyone  else,  he’s  going  to  hate  playing  catch  up.

now  a  little  bit  about  his  background  !!

ward  is  a  canon  character  so  additional  details  can  be  found  here.  the  TLDR  is  that  he  came  from  an  extremely  abusive  and  neglectful  family  and  it  shaped  who  he’d  become  as  a  person.  at  some  point  he  gets  sent  to  military  academy  and  then  goes  AWOL,  goes  home,  and  burns  the  house  down  with  his  younger  brother  inside.   he  didn’t  know,  but  it  lands  him  in  juvenile  detention  where  he’s  eventually  found  by  john  garrett.   he  exploited  the  fact  that  ward  was  desperate  —  his  parents  were  pushing  for  the  maximum  sentence,  meaning  his  life  would  be  over  before  it  even  began  —  and  dangled  his  offer  to  join  a  secret  organization  like  a  carrot.   he  accepted,  but  did  he  really  have  a  choice?

the  next  five  years  shape  him  into  the  person  he  is  now.  extremely  brutal,  difficult,  tests  leave  him  cold  and  hardened  into  the  cold-blooded  killer  —  the  weapon  —  garrett’s  been  twisting  him  to  be.   by  the  time  garrett  reveals  that  he’s  loyal  to  hydra,  ward’s  already  so  deep  in  with  him  that  he  joins  without  hesitation.   his  loyalties  however  lie  with  garrett  more  so  than  hydra.  yet  as  much  as  garrett  wanted  to  strip  him  of  his  emotional  attachments,  not  being  able  to  kill  his  loyal  dog  buddy  showed  some  weakness.   this  weakness  would  be  a  recurring  theme  in  his  life,  albeit  one  he  tried  very  hard  to  stamp  out. 

ward  was  an  exceptional  agent for  shield.  he  had  some  of  the  highest  espionage  rankings  since  romanoff  and  was  skilled  in  hand-to-hand  combat  skills  and  had  a  keen  eye  for  sniping.   though  he  worked  alone  for  the  longest  time,  he  was  recruited  by  maria  hill  for  coulson’s  team  after  the  man  was  brought  back  from  the  dead.  he  worked  close  with  them,  even  started  to  care  for  them,  but  in  the  end  he  would  always  be  loyal  to  garrett.  the  biggest  setback  were  his  feelings  for  skye,  how  he’d  genuinely  started  to  care  for  her,  and  while  some  of  it  was  rooted  in  obsession  —  in  thinking  he’d  found  someone  like  himself  —  it’s  going  to  be  very  difficult  to  reconcile  his  feelings  for  his  skye  with  daisy  as  she  is  now.   and  i  oop.   

hey  there,  hi  there,  ho  there  !!  i’m  c,  and  i’m  bringing  my  babies  erik  lehnsherr  &&  grant  ward  to  you  about  400  years  later.   life  snatched  me  but  here  i  am  finally.  i’m  terrible  at  remembering  to  respond  to  tumblr  messages  so  if  you’d  like  to  plot,  you  can  hit  me  up  @ serial killer of kisses#0440 

𝖜𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊'𝖘 𝖍𝖊 𝖋𝖗𝖔𝖒?

timeline  wise,  erik  is  pulled  somewhere  post  days  of  future  past  and  early  into  apocalypse.  given  that  the  x-men  were  constantly  fucking  up  their  timelines  and  futures,  he’s  from  an  alternate  timeline.  which  one?  good  question.  we’ll  pretend  we  know  and  just  smile  and  nod.  either  way,  this  isn’t  his  timeline  and  it  definitely  isn’t  the  world  /  year  he  left  behind  so  he’s  going  to  be  culture-shocked  by  2020.   

the  last  thing  he  really  remembers  is  his  daughter’s  death  and  apocalypse  strengthening  his  powers  to  become  a  horseman.  so  suffice  to  say,  he’s  simmering  with  rage  and  is  very  broken.   he  still  hates  humans,  maybe  more-so  than  ever  before,  and  he  thinks  they’ll  always  be  a  plague  —  never  see  them  as  equals  —  and  their  extinction  is  the  only  way  to  ensure  their  kind  survives.   he’s  an  extremist  and  his  methods  are  questionable  as  hell  but  he’s  not  entirely  wrong.  

this  quote,  in  my  opinion,  sums  up  erik  to  a  t:

“  that  you're  wrong. you  think  you're  right.  and  that  makes  you  dangerous."

𝖇𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖌𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉

erik  lehnsherr,  also  known  as  magneto,  is  a  canon  character  from  the  x-men.  my  version  of  him  follows  the  x-men  first  class  timeline.   you  can  read  more  about  him  here  on  the  wiki  but  i’ll  give  you  a  brief  overview. 

he  was  born  in  dusseldorf, germany,  into  a  middle-class  jewish  family.  his  father  was  a  decorated  WWI  veteran  but  that  wasn’t  enough  to  save  them  from  the  struggles  of  discrimination  when  the  nazi’s  started  rising  to  power.  the  family  moved  to  poland  shortly  after  he  was  born  but  were  separated  at  the  auschwitz  concentration  camps  when  he  was  fourteen.  erik’s  powers  first  manifested  when  he  ran  towards  one  of  the  gates  —  trying  to  get  to  it  before  they  closed  as  he  was  forced  to  watch  his  parents  get  ripped  away  from  him.   the  metal  warped  and  twisted  as  the  soldiers  grabbed  him,  reports  of  which  were  made  to  dr.  schmidt.  instead  of  being  sent  out  with  the  other  children,  erik  was  taken  to  the  medical  wing.  his  powers  were  exploited  and  often  used  against  him,  dr.  schmidt  focusing  in  on  his  anger  and  using  it  to  control  his  powers.  (  his  mother died  because  he  couldn’t  move  a  simple  coin  with  his  abilities.  in  grief,  fury  washing  over  him,  he  destroyed  everything  in  the  room  and  murdered  all  of  the  guards.  )   he  was  experimented  on  for  years,  schmidt  weaponizing  his  anger,  and  when  he  was  finally  free  he  spent  years  trying  to  track  down  the  man  responsible  for  his  pain  and  suffering.

by  the  time  he  finds  shaw,  his  intentions  are  clear.  he’ll  kill  him  by  any  means  necessary,  even  if  it  means  his  own  death.  it’s  charles  xavier  that  saves  him  from  drowning  in  his  efforts  to  sink  shaw’s  submarine,  the  professor  dragging  him  up  out  of  the  water.   though  erik  never  really  trusted  the  CIA,  he  agreed  to  help  charles  with  some  of  the  other  mutants  they’d  found  —  to  help  them  hone  their  abilities,  and  give  them  a  place  they  belonged.   he  grew  to  care  about  charles  and  these  other  mutants,  respected  them  even,  but  his  ambitions  always  came  first.  he  also  feared  that  a  mutant  holocaust  was  an  inevitability  and  his  fear  kept  him  from  truly  trusting  others.    finally,  when  he  confronted  shaw,  who  shared  a  vision  of  a  world  led  by  mutants,  he  found  he  agreed  —  but  he  couldn’t  allow  the  man  to  live.  he  murdered  him  slowly,  much  to  charles’  horror.  with  the  soviet  union  and  the  united  states  teaming  up  against  mutants,  erik  was  prepared  to  kill  them  all.   so  much  for  preventing  the  cuban  missile  crisis.   as  charles  and  erik  were  fighting,  rolling  around  on  the  ground  as  both  tried  to  get  the  upper  hand,  a  CIA  agent  shot  at  erik  and  he  deflected  one  of  the  bullets.  a  stray  bullet  ricocheted  and  hit  charles’  spine,  paralyzing  him.   unable  to  comprehend  the  pain  he’d  caused  someone  he  loved  —  and  knowing  their  interests  no  longer  aligned  —  erik  and  several  of  the  other  mutants  left  to  start  the  first  incarnation  of  the  brotherhood  of  mutants.   a  family  was  divided  like  after  a  messy  divorce.  

from  there,  we  don’t  know  a  lot  about  what  happened  with  erik  until  days  of  future  past  picks  back  up.  we  know  he  was  arrested  and  detained  in  the  pentagon  by  1973.   he  allegedly  curved  a  bullet  that  killed  JFK.   they  break  him  out  of  prison  to  help  try  and  save  the  world  and  inadvertently  meet  his  timeline’s  version  of  pietro  ‘peter’  maximoff.   he’s  erik’s  son,  but  he  never  discovers  this  information.   to  this  day,  he  doesn’t  know  the  truth.  in  truth,  erik  had  been  trying  to  save  JFK  —  who  was  a  mutant  —  but  unfortunately  he  wasn’t  able  to.   trask,  who  created  the  mutant  detecting  machines  in  the  future,  had  been  killing  off  mutants  one  by  one.  many  of  their  former  students,  people  they  cared  about,  had  died  as  a  result  of  it.   tortured,  too.  so  suffice  to  say,  both  erik  and  charles  thought  the  other  had  abandoned  them  /  failed  them  and  it  was  messy.   he  agrees  to  try  and  help  them  stop  the  future  from  happening,  in  the  interest  of  saving  more  mutant  lives,  but  does  try  to  kill  mystique  when  their  plans  start  going  awry.  he  fails  and  earns  more  distrust  both  from  charles  and  the  nation.  yes,  he  went  all  evil  villain  and  did  a  monologue  on  live  tv.  he’s  that  bitch.  he  fully  intends  on  killing  trask  but  mystique,  who  changes  her  mind  thanks  to  charles’  influence,  shoots  him.  it  grazes  his  neck,  just  enough  to  garner  his  attention,  but  it’s  enough  to  give  her  the  opportunity  to  knock  the  helmet  from  his  head.   in  the  end,  after  his  abilities  are  used  by  charles  to  free  himself,  he  flees.   ya  yeet.  

at  some  point  after  this,  he  moves  to  poland  and  decides  to  live  among  the  humans.  he  meets  a  woman  named  magda  when  he’s  living  as  henryk  gurzsky  and  they  have  a  daughter  named  nina.  he’s  seemingly  happy  with  his  little  family,  working  at  the  factory,  until  an  act  of  kindness  turns  the  tides  against  him.   he  uses  his  abilities  to  save  a  co-worker  and  someone  reports  him.  police  show  up  without  any  metal  to  confront  him  outside  their  house.   nina,  terrified  and  young  much  like  erik  was  when  his  powers  manifested,  had  the  power  to  control  nature  and  had  birds  attack  the  police.  one  of  the  officers  was  trying  to  shoot  the  birds  and  an  arrow  struck  nina  and  her  mother  magda  instead.   erik,  in  his  grief,  used  the  metal  locket  around  his  daughter’s  neck  to  kill  every  single  police  officer  in  the  clearing  and  then  dropped  to  his  knees  to  mourn  the  loss  of  his  family.   

en  sabah  nur,  aka  apocalypse,  finds  erik  shortly  after  this.  he’s  at  the  factory,  about  to  murder  all  of  the  workers  who  allowed  this  tragedy  to  happen,  when  en  sabah  nur  takes  his  revenge  for  him.   the  god  then  takes  him  to  auschwitz  and  strengthens  his  mutant  abilities  to  give  him  the  power  needed  to  destroy  it.   he  agrees  to  be  a  horseman,  to  join  en  sabah  nur  in  bringing  about  the  apocalypse.   shortly  after  this  happens,  he  goes  to  sleep  and  wakes  up  in  this  timeline  in  2020.  he  doesn’t  know  who’s  done  it,  or  it  was  something  the  x-men  did  to  try  and  stop  the  apocalypse,  but  he’s  livid  and  probably  wants  to  go  home.   there’s  nothing  here  for  him  —  no  revenge,  no  purpose,  so  if  he  can’t  ...  catch  him  starting  up  the  brotherhood  again  and  waging  war  on  humankind  again.   

𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖞

erik  carries  a  lot  of  anger  around  with  him.  it’s  the  trauma,  the  grief,  and  the  after-effects  of  years  of  abuse.   he  knows  best  how  to  function  when  he’s  angry,  feels  it  gives  him  direction,  and  thinks  that  happiness  leads  to  vulnerability.  he  thinks  now  that  if  he  cares  for  someone,  let’s  them  get  close,  there’s  a  possibility  he  will  hurt  them  or  they  will  get  hurt  because  of  them.   his  abilities  work  best  when  he’s  angry,  almost  like  he’s  been  conditioned  that  way,  so  he  finds  he’s  most  effective  when  he  gives  into  the  anger.  

at  the  end  of  the  day,  his  hatred  is  directly  linked  to  fear.   he  fears  that  mutants  will  be  persecuted  for  being  different,  for  not  living  up  to  what  humans  feel  is  normal,  and  that  they’ll  be  experimented  on  or  killed  if  discovered.   he’s  seen  firsthand  what  a  genocide  looks  like  and  because  of  that  fears  that  another  will  happen  if  they’re  not  carefull.   again,  he’s  not  wrong.  

𝖆𝖇𝖎𝖑𝖙𝖎𝖊𝖘

he’s  a  class  4  mutant  who  can  generate  and  manipulate  magnetic  fields.   you  can  read  more  about  his  abilities  on  the  wiki  here  but  i’ll  give  you  some   examples.

i  always  say  i’m  not  going  to  write  a  lot  and  then  write  12  paragraphs,  so  i’m  not  even  going  to  try  and  shorten  this.  it’s  going  to  be  long.  i’m  so  sorry.  

james  buchanan  barnes  was  born  in  1917.  he  was  a  good  student  and  fairly  athletic,  though  his  school  record  probably  wasn’t  great.  when  he  befriended  steve  rogers  as  children,  beating  up  bullies  that  tried  to  mess  with  him  became  a  pastime.   steve  was  a  scrapper,  always  ‘had  ‘em  on  the  ropes’  but  james  —  better  known  to  friends  and  family  as  bucky  —  was  the  kind  of  person  who  couldn’t  sit  back  and  watch  the  people  he  loved  hurt.  they  were  inseparable  and  the  majority  of  bucky’s  happy  memories  all  include  steve.  the  unhappy  ones too  probably,  considering  steve’s  health  wasn’t  great  when  they  were  young  and  he  probably  worried  about  him  24/7.   

he  was  idealistic  when  he  enlisted  and  was  assigned  to  the  107th  in  1943.   he  was  young,  all  smiles  and  charm, and  really  believed  in  the  cause.  or  believed  that  he  believed,  which  rounds  out  the  same  in  the  end.  he  was  a  waterweight  champion  prior  to  enlisting  and  was  given  sniper  training  shortly  after  he  got  his  papers.  from  there,  everything  went  from  sort  of  good  to  bad.   his  regiment  were  kidnapped  by  hydra  and  he  was  experimented  on  by  a  scientist  named  zola.  they  injected  him  with  a  walmart  brand  supersoldier  serum,  trying  to  replicate  the  success  that  they  had  with  captain  america,  but  his  regiment  was  rescued  and  he  vowed  to  fight  against  hydra  by  steve’s  side.   

on  a  mission,  fighting  alongside  steve  —  newly  super  serum’d  up  and  way  buffer  than  he  remembered  —  he  was  blasted  from  a  train  car.   he  was  clinging  to  the  railing  that  gave  way  moments  before  steve  could  grab  his  hand.   he  was  assumed  dead  as  he  fell  a  significant  drop.  the  serum  is  probably  what  saved  him  and  gave  hydra  the  perfect  opportunity  to  grab  him.   he  was  experimented  on  extensively  and  technologically  upgraded  with  a  cybernetic  arm  to  make  him  even  more  deadly.  hydra  brainwashed  him,  implanted  code  words  and  conditioning  with  triggers,  so  they  could  control  him  and  make  him  the  perfect  weapon.  

in  his  past,  in  and  out  of  cryo,  he  trained  natasha  romanoff  in  the  red  room.  there  were  a  number  of  super  soliders,  other  projects  that  were  deemed  failures  or  too  unstable  to  function,  but  the  black  widows  were  the  soviet’s  baby  so  to  speak.   up  until  recently,  he  didn’t  remember  anything  about  his  time  in  the  red  room.   or  the  time  he  shot  a  mark  through  natasha.   awko.  

over  the  next  70  years,  they’d  pull  him  in  and  out  of  cryofreeze,  wiping  his  memory  between  missions,  to  have  complete  a  series  of  prolific  assassinations  and  missions.  he  became  a  ghost  story,  referred  to  in  whispers  in  the  intelligence  community  as  the  winter  solider,  and  was  known  to  be  extremely  deadly.    

bucky  continued  to  operate  as  an  hydra  asset  until  the  fall  of  hydra  within  s.h.i.e.l.d.  in  2013.   his  programming  was  starting  to  fail,  triggers  from  his  former  life  waking  up  parts  of  him  that  he’d  thought  were  long  gone,  and  he  was  starting  to  remember  things.   the  man  on  the  bridge.  i  remember  him.   he  pulls  steve  out  of  the  river  after  the  helicarrier  crashes,   visits  the  exhibit  at  the  smithsonian,  and  then  disappears.   it  takes  years  for  him  to  sort  through  his  memories,  writing  things  down  frantically  in  notebooks  as  quickly  as  they  appear  in  case  they  disappear  again.  on  top  of  the  horrific  memories  of  the  things  he’s  done,  the  people  he’s  hurt,  he  has  blanks  and  gaps  that  he  doesn’t  know  how  to  quantify.   so  he  hides,  he  stays  off  shield  and  the  governments  radar,  and  he  tries  to  figure  out  who  and  what  he  is.    that  is,  until  his  picture’s  on  the  news,  steve’s  crashing  back  into  his  life,  and  there’s  another  fight  to  be  fought.   except  this  time,  it’s  over  him.   and  he’s  not  sure  he  deserves  it.

this  is  getting  really  sad  so  i’m  moving  on.  anyways.  after  the  events  of  civil  war,  when  nemo  used  his  conditioning  to  turn  him  against  the  people  he  cared  about,  he  knew  he  was  a  liability.   until  they  could  fix  him,  figure  out  a  way  to  condition  his  brain  back  to  normal,  he  went  into  cryofreeze  again  in  wakanda.   a  year,  maybe  a  little  more,  and  he’s  out.   he  has  a  new  arm,  which  he  refuses  to  wear initially,  and  his  mind’s  clearer  than  it’s  been  in  years.   the  memories  still  come  and  go,  the  journaling  never  stops,  but  at  least  now  he  has  a  clear  picture  of  what’s  real  and  what  was  implanted  by  hydra.   he  knows,  in  an  abstract  way,  who  he  is  again.    what  he  is,  however,  is  up  for  debate.  

anyways  yes  he’s  been  in  wakanda  for  probably  close  to  two  years  trying  to  heal,  figure  out  what  comes  next,  and  just  take  a  breather.   everyone  he  knew  before  is  dead,  the  people  he  cared  about  he  hurt,  and  there’s  so  much  blood  on  his  hands  he  practically  drowns  in  it.   (  do  i  think  he  stayed  out  in  a  hut  because  his  nightmares  prompted  violent  shouts  sometimes  and  he  was  embarrassed?  yes.   does  he  still  have  them?  sometimes. )   when  the  accords  were  overturned,  registration  abandoned,  he  negotiated  with  the  government  and  with  shield  so  he  could  come  home.   he’s  not  all  that  sure  it’s  what  he  wants,  or  even  what  he  deserves,  but  even  if  others  might  disagree  he  has  a  list  of  crimes  a  mile  long  and  he  needs  to  make  it  right.   if  they  decide  that  means  working  for  shield  instead  of  sitting  in  a  jail  cell  somewhere,  he’ll  sign  on  the  dotted  line.   he  knows  nothing  in  life  comes  free.  not  even  freedom.

So I am going to try and keep this short and sweet because I can write about Dinah for daysssss! Please plot with me I love to come up with new canon and stories. Please be warned there is a tw for murder, cancer, and death in this. No spoiler alerts as I have not written about the movie just in case someone plans to see it but hasn’t yet.

Dinah Laurel Lance was born into a family of crime fighters. Her father, Larry Lance, was a detective in Gotham while her mother, Dinah Drake Lance, was a vigilante called the Black Canary. Not only that but Dinah was raised by her mother’s old teammates, sharing a close relationship with them and treating them like family. Because of this, she was in constant awe of her mother’s heroic past and that of her teammates who were members of the Justice Society of America. However, her mother was against Dinah getting involved in the hard and violent world of vigilantism that had worn her down. Dinah Sr. thought the world was getting more violent and amoral every year and did not want her daughter to get herself killed, trying to be a hero.

On the other hand, Dinah resented her mother for never being home and never being there for the special events in her life. Though she admired her mother’s heroic activity, she didn’t like the time away from her and it often caused conflict between mother and daughter. So much so they often had verbal arguments over it. However, her father had eventually retired early and passed away from cancer.

A profound moment was when her mother’s vigilante activity, what was supposed to be the last mission, ended up with her mother being killed. This jaded Dinah and her view of heroes and the police. Ending up in the foster care system, Dinah decided she would rather live on the streets and was eventually picked up by Ted Grant who became her guardian and also began training her to fight and fend for herself in his dojo and helping her train her metahuman powers

The events of BoP are canon as she found steady work as a singer in the Black Mask club. I won’t put too many details in case it spoils it for anyone who has yet to see it. Long story short, after the events of the movie Dinah decides to embrace her mother’s legacy and make it her own as the Black Canary.

Dinah now works as a freelance singer to make her money and if gigs are dry, she will often enter herself in cage matches and perform brutal fights for her money. As Black Canary, she has become close with vigilantes from Star City, becoming well known there as well as Gotham City.
